North Carolina Employer Negligence

How Can a Trucking Company Be Liable for My Accident?

Most people assume that trucking accidents are the result of a distracted or tired truck driver. The truth is that many accidents are the result of employer negligence. Trucking companies can be just as liable for truck accidents as their employees are. Federal trucking regulations provide strict requirements to which trucking companies must adhere. These requirements apply to a company’s background check process for new drivers, training of new drivers, maintenance and equipment of commercial trucks, and more. Negligence in any of these areas can result in a serious accident. If you’ve been injured due to employer negligence, call an experienced North Carolina truck accident attorney today at (800) 411-1583.
